Holidays to Alykes take you to a charming coastal village, quiet countryside and one of north Zante's best beaches.
Rustic beauty
Away from the noise of bustling crowds and busy resorts, North-east Alykes' peaceful, friendly village is brimming with authentic Greek charm. There's even a free horse-drawn carriage that will take you to the local taverna for a real taste of old-world Greece.
Fun for all
The glorious three-kilometre golden beach is divided into two – Alykes and Alikanas. Shallow waters and soft sands make the stretch a paradise for families, with Alikanas a little more appealing for watersports enthusiasts. Sunloungers and umbrellas are available for hire all over, and seafront tavernas serve up traditional Greek fare all day.
Action-packed afternoon
Zante Town's about a 25-minute drive and chock-full of enough museums, landmarks and ruins to tire out even the most determined history buff. There's even a particularly picturesque Venetian Castle. Not to worry, though – there are also plenty of eateries and cafés to help you relax and recharge.
